Gaze at the Stars, Oct. 8

Record turnout for Blessing of the Animals!

Thanks to everyone who brought their furry (or shelled) friends to the 11th annual Blessing of the Animals at Ivy Chapel. We had a record turnout this year, despite the weather. And an extra-special thank you to everyone who made donations the Bi-State Pet Food Pantry. The food and funds will go a long way to helping struggling local families keep their pets in these tough economic times.

Unexpected guests invade picnic!

We invited local entertainer Serengeti Steve to our Spring picnic… and he brought along several of his pets, much to the delight of most at the picnic — and to the chagrin of the more skittish among us.

Thanks to Debbie Washburn for organizing the event, and for the whole crew of volunteers who made it a great event.

The evening will begin at Ivy Chapel, at 620 N. Woods Mill Road in Chesterfield, with a Wine Tasting, from 6 to 7 p.m. Presented by Wines for Humanity, a portion of the proceeds will benefit Ivy Chapel.

Afterwards, we’ll hop in our cars and head to various locations for mouthwatering main courses and, of course, decadent desserts.

Fall picnic invaded by bugs and more!

The weather drew rave reviews at Ivy Chapel’s first-ever fall picnic, held at Millennium Park in Creve Coeur. Unfortunately (especially for some)… a few invited guests were not as well received.

Following our lunch and plenty of time to visit, Serengeti Steve of Reptile Experience entertained and educated us. We learned about snakes, scorpions, lizards and tarantulas.

Lizards sat on heads. Tarantulas did the same. Scorpions and cockroaches got in on the fun, too. Of course, alligator (”he’s heavy!”) drew a few gasps – topped only by the giant anaconda.

Check out the photo album for more pictures from the event. If you were there and would like photos, contact us and we’ll send you the file.
